This was reported by the candidate of medical sciences, gastroenterologist Evgeny Belousov.
He revealed the beneficial properties of pomegranate in a conversation with RIA Novosti .
Why you should eat pomegranate
As Belousov explained, pomegranate has a powerful antioxidant effect. This fruit contains three times more antioxidants than green tea or red wine.
Pomegranate also contains many vitamins and microelements, in particular iron, phosphorus, potassium, and calcium.
According to the doctor, pomegranate is good for the cardiovascular system, prevents atherosclerosis, heart attacks and strokes.
Pomegranate also improves memory, and an experiment on mice showed the potential of this fruit in the fight against Alzheimer's disease.
In addition, pomegranate helps with depression and eases the symptoms of menopause.
Ellagitannins in pomegranate can inhibit the development of breast tumors, Belousov noted.
Despite its many beneficial properties, this fruit should be consumed with caution.
So, if you have gastritis with high acidity and ulcers, you should not drink undiluted pomegranate juice.
In addition, it can provoke allergies and worsen the condition of tooth enamel.
